Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cardboard box processing equipment, specifically a rapid folding and flattening device for cardboard box production. Background Technology

[0002] In the carton production process, folding and flattening are indispensable key steps. Traditional carton folding and flattening equipment mostly uses cylinder-driven pressure plates to flatten the folded cartons. However, existing carton folding and flattening equipment still has some shortcomings that need improvement.

[0003] In existing flattening equipment, operators fold the cartons and place them on a pallet before transporting them to the flattening equipment for flattening. Due to the variability and uncertainty of manual operation, the shape and size of the folded cartons often vary, affecting the overall aesthetics and practicality of the cartons, increasing labor costs, and reducing folding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid folding and flattening device for carton production, which solves the problem of low efficiency of manual carton folding by using a push plate and a stop block to fold the carton.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a rapid folding and flattening device for carton production, including a frame, a body and a spring. The frame is provided with a flattening part, and U-shaped plates are installed on both sides of the frame. A first electric push rod is installed in the middle of the U-shaped plate. A push plate is installed at the output end of the first electric push rod. A T-shaped block is provided inside the push plate. A stop block is installed at the bottom of the T-shaped block. A groove is opened inside the push plate. The end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the groove and the top of the T-shaped block.

[0007] Furthermore, the T-block has a sliding part and a connecting part, the sliding part is slidably fitted in the groove, and the connecting part is connected to the top of the block.

[0008] Furthermore, an inner groove is provided inside the frame, and a second electric push rod is installed in the inner groove. A crossbar is installed at the output end of the second electric push rod, and a row of pressure blocks is installed on the crossbar.

[0009] Furthermore, a row of outer grooves is provided on the frame, and the pressure block slides into the corresponding outer groove.

[0010] Furthermore, two linear modules are installed at the bottom of the frame, and the output ends of the two linear modules are connected to the two sides of the frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the flattening section has a cylinder and a pressure plate. The cylinder is mounted on the top of the frame, and the output end of the cylinder is connected to the pressure plate.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This utility model uses a push plate and abutment block to fold the cardboard box, quickly and accurately folding the two sides of the folded cardboard box, avoiding the manual folding step, shortening the production cycle from raw materials to finished products, significantly improving overall production efficiency, and ensuring that the cardboard box is evenly stressed during the folding process. This avoids problems such as irregular shape and curled corners that may be caused by manual folding, resulting in a cardboard box with a regular shape and uniform size, improving the overall aesthetics and practicality of the cardboard box, and facilitating subsequent flattening.

[0014] This invention uses a pressure block and a linear module to limit the movement of a cardboard box. When folding the cardboard box, the linear module is activated to move the frame, causing the pressure block to move to the top of the cardboard box. Then, the second electric push rod is activated to push the crossbar, causing the pressure block to slide along the outer groove to the top of the cardboard box. The linear module is then activated again to move the pressure block to limit the movement of the cardboard box, thereby preventing the cardboard box from shifting during the folding process. This simplifies the folding steps, increases the accuracy of the folding process, and improves the practicality of the device.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rapid folding and flattening device for carton production, including a frame 1, a frame body 9, and a spring 502. A flattening part 2 is provided on the frame 1, the flattening part 2 having a cylinder 201 and a pressure plate 202. The cylinder 201 is installed on the top of the frame 1, and the output end of the cylinder 201 is connected to the pressure plate 202. When flattening the carton, the cylinder 201 pushes the pressure plate 202 to move to the bottom to flatten the carton. U-shaped plates 3 are installed on both sides of the frame 1. A first electric push rod 4 is installed in the middle of the U-shaped plate 3. A push plate 5 is installed at the output end of the first electric push rod 4. A T-shaped block 6 is provided inside the push plate 5. The T-shaped block 6 has a sliding part and a connecting part. The sliding part is slidably fitted in a groove 501, and the connecting part is connected to the top of a stop block 7. During the process of the first electric push rod 4 pushing the push plate 5 to fold the sides of the carton, the spring 502... 02. Pushing the sliding part causes it to slide along the slide groove 501 to the bottom, driving the connecting part to press the abutment 7 against the sides of the carton. The bottom of the T-shaped block 6 is equipped with the abutment 7. The inside of the push plate 5 is provided with the slide groove 501. The end of the spring 502 is connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 501 and the top of the T-shaped block 6. When processing the carton, the carton is placed on the push plate and sent into the frame 1. At this time, the second electric push rod 10 is activated to push the crossbar 11 to drive the pressure block 12 to limit the carton. Then, the first electric push rod 4 is activated to push the push plate 5 to push the sides of the carton towards the middle. At this time, the push plate 5 drives the T-shaped block 6 to move the abutment 7 together with the push plate 5. During the process of the push plate 5 moving the sides of the carton towards the middle, there is a certain angle between the sides of the carton and the middle. At this time, the spring 502 pushes the T-shaped block 6 to move along the slide groove 501 to the bottom, driving the abutment 7 to fold the sides of the carton.

[0024] Two linear modules 8 are installed at the bottom of the frame 1. The output ends of the two linear modules 8 are connected to the two sides of the frame 9. The frame 9 has an inner groove 901, and a second electric push rod 10 is installed in the inner groove 901. A crossbar 11 is installed at the output end of the second electric push rod 10. A row of pressure blocks 12 is installed on the crossbar 11. A row of outer grooves 902 is opened on the frame 9. The pressure blocks 12 slide in the corresponding outer grooves 902. When folding the carton, the linear modules 8 are activated to drive the frame 9 so that the pressure blocks 12 move to the top of the carton. At this time, the second electric push rod 10 is activated to push the crossbar 11 so that the pressure blocks 12 slide along the outer grooves 902 to the top of the carton. The linear modules 8 are then activated to move the pressure blocks 12 to limit the carton, thereby preventing the carton from shifting during the folding process and facilitating the folding steps of the carton.
